Galliano Rumours

RUMOURS linking John Galliano with the creative directorship at relaunched label Schiaparelli are untrue, his spokesperson told us this morning. The suggestions - made by WWD and later picked up by other media sources yesterday - are "just rumours and nothing more".

"The treatment will be long and arduous - and ongoing for a long time in the future - but he is humble, apologetic and hopeful that he can recover," his spokesperson told us at the time of his trial in 2011. "He will continue to receive treatment for his illness and hopes in time to embrace a more positive future, based on forgiveness and understanding."
